MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Salute from the Shore started in 2009 and continues to be a Fourth of July tradition celebrated by thousands along the South Carolina coastline each year.
The event started with two friends and their sons and one flyover, said Will Howard, a Salute from the Shore board member. However, the event meant to to honor America’s armed forces on the nation’s birthday has now grown into something enormous.
Here’s where you can celebrate 4th of July along the Grand Strand
“It’s really cool to be out there and see the energy and the swell of people coming in with their red, white and blue,” Howard said. “I think it’s really become a part of what’s been ingrained a little bit in the coastal South Carolina 4th of July celebration.”
There will be planes like T-16 jets, C-17s, T-34s and T-28s. They will start at 1 p.m. at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach and make their way down the coastline to Beaufort.
The event has become a tradition on the coast for the 4th of July for those on the ground and in the air.
